[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want to switch to test only? Get rid of the centers. One LIV class for every 3 regular class in the school. Schools that have more classes will have multiple LIV classes. The top 25% of the kids for each school are in the LIV classroom. If there is an issue at specific schools regarding the composition of the class, it can be addressed locally through Principal Placement.

Once you add in Centers and moving kids to different schools and the like, you change the nature of what is being offered and you add in a different level of complexity because now the program as a whole has to reflect the entire County and not the school. [/quote]

Pretty sure test only wouldn't meet state standards for gifted identification. Multiple factors have to be considered. The gifted program rules aren't entirely made up by FCPS.[/quote]

I am pretty certain that APS do not run their ES programs the way FCPS does. APS essentialy uses test scores and parent requests to cluster kids identified as gifted into groups. There are no pull outs and the reports from APS parents and Teachers is that there is little differentiation. That tells me that there is no state mandate on how to run a program for the gifted and talented kids or how to select kids for the gifted and talented programs that schools run.

FCPS LIV program is different and is run the way FCPS wants to run it, which is why they keep tweaking how they except kids into it. [/quote]
